HOLY WEEK - DAY 6

🕯️ Day 6 – Rejoice

📖 Scripture: "Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." – Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV)

🔍 Exegetical Insight: The "joy of the Lord" (chedvat YHWH) isn't happiness but deep gladness rooted in His nature. This joy becomes your ma'oz (fortress)—a defensive stronghold.

🛡 Shield Reality: Joy isn't an emotion to generate—it's armor to wear. The enemy wants to steal your joy because it's your strength for the battles ahead. When the Bridegroom comes, He's looking for a joyful bride, not a burdened one. Joy declares your confidence in His goodness.

💡 Light Action: Choose one way to express joy today—sing, dance, laugh, or celebrate with someone. Let joy be intentional worship, not dependent on circumstances.
